Discover La Piscine de Roubaix – A Unique Artistic Gem

Nestled in the heart of Roubaix, La Piscine – The Art and Industry Museum is one of the most remarkable cultural sites in Northern France. This former swimming pool, transformed into an art museum, offers an exceptional blend of history, architecture, and creativity. Whether you are an art enthusiast, a history buff, or simply looking for an extraordinary experience, La Piscine should be on your travel itinerary.

The Fascinating History of La Piscine

Originally designed by architect Albert Baert and inaugurated in 1932, La Piscine was once a luxurious municipal swimming pool, built in the Art Deco style. For decades, it served as a leisure and hygiene facility for the people of Roubaix. However, due to structural concerns, it closed in 1985. Rather than letting this architectural masterpiece fall into decay, the city decided to give it a second life.

In 2001, La Piscine reopened as an art and industry museum, preserving its stunning original design. Today, visitors can still admire the magnificent stained-glass windows, intricate mosaics, and the grand central pool, which now serves as an exhibition space.
